Bard's Tale Fans, Rejoice!

The designers of the Bard's Tale series, Wasteland and Battle Chess wanted to pool their talents to create the ultimate role-playing fantasy. They knew it had to be a first rate story with state-of-the-art animated graphics. The result was Dragon Wars.

King Drake of Phoebus has declared all magic illegal - magickers have been slain or fled into exile.
